“I remember feeling very confident when I first came in to do the screen test because I put on a lot of weight. I was like, ‘I feel good.’ And I remember seeing Christian in the make-up chair, and he looked really weedy. I thought to myself, ‘I can handle him.’ And then I went and got changed into my Bane costume and started flexing my muscles, feeling confident. And then Batman turned up. He was about 3 ft taller than me and I was like ‘huuuuuhhh.’ There was a 3-year-old in me that was like ‘that’s…that’s Batman!’ ” - Tom Hardy
